Anti-migrant sentiment and policy changes in the UK and EU affect recruitment, deans say

The international diversity that has long been a selling point for European business schools is now under threat as political shifts and stricter immigration policies take hold across the continent. With business masters programme classes often comprising as much as 90 per cent foreign students, this global appeal — offering the opportunity to study alongside international classmates — has set European schools apart from their North American and Asian counterparts.

Bachelors programmes in English are set to be cut to one-third of all courses. At the same time, Norway has introduced tuition fees for international students outside the European Economic Area and Switzerland — a notable shift for a country that previously offered free education to all. France, too, introduced reforms last year aimed at tightening deportations and setting migration quotas, though some elements were later struck down by the courts.
